The Steph Show to be broadcast live from McGovern’s home because of coronavirus

“Whatever you’re up to, we want to bring some much-needed joy to your day and help you navigate your way through the madness.”

Director of Programmes Ian Katz added: “I want us to be the place that captures – and hopefully lifts – the mood of the nation, connects people and helps them get through the next few months of uncertainty and isolation with a combination of useful advice, stuff to do, cheering diversion and plain fun.

“The perfect person to do that is Steph McGovern, one of the best-loved and most versatile broadcasters in the country and I’m delighted that we have been able to bring forward the launch of her new show, broadcast live from her Yorkshire home daily from Monday.”
